Ring in Spring by Using Unique Potato Types to Create Colorful, Nutrition Packed Dishes

DENVER, April 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Russets are the most widely used potato type in the U.S., characterized by a brown, netted skin and white flesh. The delicious result of baking this potato type is a light and fluffy center, surrounded by a tasty, robust and crispy roasted skin. The delicate potato flavor and grainy texture of a baked russet makes it the ideal partner for a variety of toppings, as flavor infusion is so natural to this type. Russets also create light and fluffy mashed potatoes and traditional crispy, pan-fried potatoes.
